100 Great Dance Music Videos from the 2000s (#85-#81)

Updated on May 26, 2009

The following 100 dance music videos of the 2000s are in absolutely no
way a comprehensive representation of all the great club hits of the
decade. Most club hits did not have music videos, or the video does not
feature the dance mix. Also, this is not a critic's list. It's all in
fun and there are plenty of cheesy videos on the list. But hopefully
the casual pop music fan may be introduced to some of the music they
missed, and the card-carrying members of the club community can
experience some guilty pleasures and a little nostalgia.

#85 Faithless- "We Come 1"

Faithless

Faithless is a British electronica band made up of Maxi Jazz, Rollo
and Sister Bliss, who broke onto the international scene with the 90's
hits, "Salva Mea" and "Insomnia" from the album, Reverence. "We Come 1", the first single from their third album, Outrospective, reached #3 in the UK, #3 in the Netherlands and #3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart.

Cool fact: Rollo's sister, singer Dido, has been featured on every Faithless album.

#84 Inaya Day- "Nasty Girl"

Inaya Day

Music by New York City singer Inaya Day was a staple in U.S. Dance
Clubs over the 2000s. She had a string of top ten Billboard Hot Dance
Club Play chart hits including "Movin' Up", "The Glamorous Life", "U
Spin Me", and the #1 hits "Can't Stop Dancin'" and "Lift It Up." "Nasty
Girl" , a cover of the 1982 hit by Vanity 6, peaked at #6 in 2005 and
crossed the Atlantic to hit #9 in the UK.

Cool fact: Inaya Day
first hit the club scene by performing vocals on the classic 1990s
hits, "Keep Pushin'" and "Hold Your Head Up High" by Boris Dlugosch
presents Boom! and "Horny" by Mousse T.

#83 Puretone- "Addicted to Bass"

Puretone

Josh Abrahams and Amiel Daemion hit with "Addicted to Bass" in 1998
in their native Australia, but changed their name to Puretone for the
international release as to not be confused with the music producer,
Josh Abraham. In 2002, the single was an international hit, reaching #2
on the UK Singles Chart and #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play
Chart.

#82 Roger Sanchez- "Another Chance"

Roger Sanchez

struck gold with his first major label production album, 2001's First Contact, and the #1 UK hit, "Another Chance". The song is based around a sample of Toto's "I Won't Hold You Back".
